CASA 2026 Salary Survey-OPEN
California Isn’t One Market—Your Data Shouldn’t Be Either.
CASA’s 2026 Salary Survey is now open, built specifically for ASC administrators who need California-relevant compensation data.
In California, every county tells a different story. Labor costs, competition, and pay structures vary widely—and relying on national benchmarks can leave you underpaying, overpaying, or misaligned in your market.
That’s where CASA delivers.
Our survey captures regional, county-level insights across California, with data broken down by ASC volume, multi-specialty centers, and single-specialty GI and Ophthalmology facilities—so you can make decisions grounded in your reality.
✔ California-specific, county-level benchmarks
✔ Data tailored to ASC size and specialty mix
✔ Actionable insights for compensation, hiring, and retention
It takes just 15 minutes to participate—and it’s free for CASA members who contribute. Non-participants will pay $500 for access.
Don’t rely on national averages to make local decisions.
Submit your data by April 30, 2026—and ensure your region is accurately represented.
Q1 2026 Benchmarking is Open
Benchmarking is one of the most powerful tools an Ambulatory Surgery Center has to drive measurable improvement and sustained success. The CASA Benchmarking Program goes beyond simple comparison, equipping you with credible, ASC-specific data that aligns with regulatory expectations while giving your team clear direction. It empowers you to identify gaps, prioritize meaningful improvements, and track progress over time. In a tight-margin environment with rising expectations, benchmarking helps your ASC keep pace—and operate with intention, accountability, and a commitment to excellence.
The system is now open for 1st Quarter 2026 data entry.
To simplify participation, CASA has created several tutorials for new and returning users, along with helpful tools to guide you through each step of the data collection process. Access the webinar and resources here: CASA Benchmarking Resources.

- This session is especially important because legislative and regulatory decisions directly shape the environment in which ASCs operate. Understanding how policy impacts reimbursement, operations, and patient access is critical—not just for awareness, but for effective leadership and long-term strategy. This is a must-attend session for administrators who want to stay ahead of change rather than react to it.
